    Musical Heiße Ecke – The St. Pauli Musical

    All of St. Pauli meets at the Heiße Ecke snack bar. The Pinneberger boys Mikie, Frankie and Pitter, the lovers Straube, the fence Henning, Hannelore from the night shift or the whores Nadja, Sylvie and Martina - for all of them, the "Heiße Ecke" is…

    Musical Die Weihnachtsbäckerei - The children's musical in Hamburg

    A turbulent story is told in the pre-Christmas season, embedded in 20 of the most beautiful winter and Christmas songs by Rolf Zuckowski - including, of course, the well-known title song.

Show sensations in the Hanseatic city

Hamburg also has plenty of first-class shows to offer.

    Award-winning world successes and cheeky "Kiez" classics make Hamburg a musical city

    New musicals in Hamburg

    From fall 2024, & JULIA - The Musical will be coming to the city on the Elbe. You can also look forward to the German premiere of MJ - The Michael Jackson Musical in December 2024, with background stories from the 1992 "Dangerous" world tour. Since spring 2024, Disney's HERCULES has been celebrating its world premiere for the first time in Hamburg at the Stage Theater Neue Flora.

    Discover the musical metropolis of Hamburg

    Hamburg's musical scene has global appeal. With four major stage theaters, Hamburg is the German capital of musicals and regularly presents German, European and world premieres, such as Disney's HERCULES, HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD and ROCKY, which was the first production created in Germany to be exported to Broadway and went on to win the Tony Award for best stage design.

    The undisputed No. 1 is and remains Disney's global success THE LION KING. Simba, Nala and Rafiki have been at home in the Stage Theater im Hafen for more than 20 years and have already transported over 11 million spectators to the African savannah. But many show sensations also play an important role in Hamburg's entertainment scene outside of the big theaters: the "Kiez" highlight "Heiße Ecke" has been providing cheerful laughter and humid evenings at Schmidts TIVOLI since 2003.

    City trip to Hamburg with a visit to a musical

    The combination of a city break and a visit to a musical makes your short trip to Hamburg a very special experience. With our attractive travel packages, you can combine an overnight stay in a hotel with a visit to a musical. Alternatively, we also offer you the option of combining hotel and experiences according to your own wishes. Book your musical tickets conveniently with our best seat booking or select your favorite seat in the seating plan booking. At Hamburg Tourismus you also benefit from many offers and promotions - for example with the Hamburg CARD (up to 10% off the ticket price) or with the family days (up to 15% discount).

    Whether it's just a weekend or a whole week - you can organize your vacation to suit your individual needs: start your trip with a harbour tour, for example, and get to know Hamburg from the water. In the gastronomy scene, you can enjoy both typical Hamburg cuisine and excellent international cuisine. And you can simply unwind on a shopping spree through Hamburg's city center and districts.
